Peter Lehmann Shiraz
Barossa The Barossan 2016 (SKU 144937, $22.99 tax included)
I found the 2016 vintage at the BC Liquor Store recently
and wanted to compare it to the very fine 2015 vintage that I mentioned in my March
2018 blog. Upon opening, it had a fruity nose and dense aroma. It tasted very
similar to the 2015 vintage, a big Australian fruit bomb. I like my wines to
mellow down a little bit, so I would put it in my cellar for another five to
ten years, again similar to last year's vintage. There was no Wine Spectator
rating yet but I would guess it would a similar rating of 90 points like last year. I also checked the Wine Spectator vintage rating chart and found
the two vintages from Barossa region had similar score. The bonus is that the
wine is now on sale this month. Given a similar wine compared to last year and a
10% discount, I would definite buy a few bottles for my cellar. There is ample
stock in the LDB stores.
